I had a horrible experience with this host. I booked travel over a month in advance and would be traveling from the east coast of the USA to Thailand. The host came back only days before travel stating he may be unavailable to meet when I arrive and offered the option to cancel the reservation so that I could find a more suitable option (many nicer hotels to stay with breakfast included on hotels.com). When prompted to cancel on his end, he refused and stated he found a family member to meet. This may seem like a positive solution but with a 12 hour time difference and preparations to travel 30 hours without any source of internet to respond, it only caused havoc for a traveler who plans things in advance. I would recommend not trusting this host to keep his word. Take my advice and look at all options before booking. (Nicer places and much cheaper hotels are readily available before this apartment)
